Hungary's prime minister elect announcing that Orbán was funding CPAC and other Trump-related political activities (also Heritage Foundation's Project 2025), and this will now end.

Hungary's Viktor Orbán concedes defeat, ending 16 years in power Hungarian voters turned out in the greatest numbers since the 1990s to turn away from Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's right-wing populist Fidesz party, putting an end to Orbán's 16 years in power.

Viktor Orbán has conceded his loss!!

this is so fucking stupid

US delegation is going home after 21 hours of negotiating with Iran and reaching no deal.

zero real response from the entire country. I can’t get over where we are.

One of the most brazenly corrupt events in history will take place tomorrow when Jared Kushner represents the U.S. in critical negotiations with Iran to end the war while he accepts millions in fees (and billions in investments) from the Saudi gov’t which has been lobbying Trump to continue the war

bomb Iran to distract from Epstein, then use Epstein to distract from how badly they bombed in Iran?
every angle is so stupid

why is she doing this on national television unprovoked? this is hot dog guy level stuff

Trump’s Staggering Humiliation in Iran Desperate for an off-ramp, the president is setting up the U.S. to lose another war in the Middle East—even if the ceasefire doesn’t hold.

The Iran war increasingly looks not only like another shocking humiliation, but perhaps the greatest strategic blunder in American military history. trib.al/VVZfBVu

This is an account close to the Iranian leadership. We are now seeing the shape of why Iran agreed so enthusiastically to this "ceasefire".

They will control and toll the Strait for the first time. They keep their nuclear program. They keep their missiles.

What a disaster.

Iran closes Strait of Hormuz, state media says. Live updates. President Trump announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran contingent on the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. See what’s next in peace talks.

Breaking: Strait of Hormuz sealed off, Iran state media says, in response to Israeli strikes on Lebanon. The move could jeopardize the ceasefire.

The United States will work closely with Iran, which we have determined has gone through what will be a very productive Regime Change! There will be no enrichment of Uranium, and the United States will, working with Iran, dig up and remove all of the deeply buried (B-2 Bombers) Nuclear “Dust.” It is now, and has been, under very exacting Satellite Surveillance (Space Force!). Nothing has been touched from the date of attack. We are, and will be, talking Tariff and Sanctions relief with Iran. Many of the 15 points have already been been agreed to. Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

The president is just posting his negotiating position on main. None of this is agreed to, and the fact that this is all he is asking for is a startling admission of U.S. strategic defeat.

He is HOPING Iran will let him get back to a position worse than JCPOA.

BREAKING NEWS: Initial estimates from Israeli strikes in Lebanon indicate around 100 killed and 500 wounded.

just write uranium on a pile of trash and lead the idiot to it

APNewsAlert: BEIRUT (AP) — Multiple Israeli airstrikes hit central Beirut hours after US and Iran announce ceasefire.

The text of the post reads: ​"Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE! The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East. We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate. Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated. On behalf of the United States of America, as President, and also representing the Countries of the Middle East, it is an Honor to have this Longterm problem close to resolution. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

Trump says there's a ceasefire and won't bomb Iran but it's unclear if the Iranians agreed to it

this reads like a deflating tire

After clashes with Hegseth, Army secretary says he isn’t going anywhere Dan Driscoll, praised by the White House, said in a statement to The Washington Post that “I have no plans to depart or resign as the Secretary of the Army.”

Exclusive: Army Secretary Dan Driscoll told The Post he has no plans to leave his role at the Pentagon, despite a series of internal clashes with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that have led other officials to question how long the two can coexist.

I think they’re too dumb for that and it’s plausible he’s simply there to blow Orbán

We have the Twenty-Fifth Amendment. Now is the time to use it. It's past time for Trump to be removed from office. This is a global crisis. It's time for J.D. Vance and the Cabinet to invoke the Twenty-Fifth Amendment.
